CAJUN SHRIMP AND STEAK FEAST 🍤🥩😋😋❤️
Treat yourself to a flavorful Cajun Shrimp and Steak Feast. This dish combines spicy Cajun shrimp with perfectly seared steak for a meal that’s both bold and satisfying!
Ingredients:
For the Cajun Shrimp:
1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
2 tbsp Cajun seasoning
2 tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp lemon juice
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
For the Steak:
2 ribeye steaks (about 1 inch thick)
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 sprigs fresh thyme
For the Side:
2 cups cooked rice or potatoes (optional)
Directions:
Step 1: Prepare the Cajun Shrimp
In a bowl, toss the shrimp with Cajun seasoning until well coated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute. Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Step 2: Prepare the Steak
Pat the ribeye steaks dry with paper towels. Rub both sides with olive oil, salt, pepper, and Cajun seasoning.
Heat a large skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and fresh thyme to the pan.
Cook the steaks for 4-5 minutes per side for medium-rare, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer for accuracy (135°F or 57°C for medium-rare).
Remove the steaks from the pan and let them rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Step 3: Serve
Slice the steaks and arrange them on plates with the Cajun shrimp.
Serve with your choice of cooked rice or potatoes on the side, if desired.
